TQ ALIi WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, F. S. ZUMSTEIN, of Evansville, in the county of Vanderburg, and State of Indiana, have invented a new and improved Stove orI-Ieater; andl `do her-"eby `declaretljatthefollowing isa fulhclear, and exact descriptiontthereof, which will enable others skilled inV the' arttoma'ke and use the sam`e, rferenec being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which` Y Figure 1 is a'vertical longitudinal section ci' my improved stove.

Figure 2 is a horizontal section of the same, taken through the line :r z, lig. lIl.

`Similar letters vof reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention has for its object, to furnish an improved stove for heating railroad-cars, stcamboats, hotels, houses, die., which shall be simplein construction, will keep the tire in fullI operation from six to twenty-four hours without its being necessary to attend` to theltire, and which may be used with perfect safety on railroadcars, as the stove is so constructed as not to be liable to be broken, and to scatter the rc, should an accident happen to the car. l v l And it consists in the construction and combination-of the various parts, as hereinafter more fully described.

A is the outer casing of the stove, which should be madeot' Russiaor other suitable sheet iron. The top of the case is closed by a cover, B, which should t air-tight, and which may be secured in place by catches formed upon its edge, and dropping into notches in the upper edge .of the sides of the ease A,`so that by slightly turning the said cover, it may be securely fastened in place. In the centre ofthe bottom of the case A, is the draught-opening, which is covered upon its inner side with a wire-gauze screen, C, to prevent the possibility of any re escaping through it. The said opening is lso covered upon its outer side by a pivoted slidc-door, D, which is held up closely against the said bottom bylreepers, thus enabling the draught to he regulated at pleasure.

E is a series of pipes placed all around the interior of' the case A, near its sides, as shown in g. 2. 'Ihe lower ends of the pipes E open through the bottom of the ease A, to which they are securely attached.

rIhc upper ends or the pipes have elbows formed upon them, and pass out through the sides of the case A, near its upper edge,to which case A they are securely attached. i

By this construction the cold air of the car or room passes into the pipes E, at their lower ends, is heated),v

and again discharged int-o the roomthrough their upper ends.

F is the furnace, which should also be made of goed sheet iron, and of' such a size as to fit into the cylindrical cavity ot' the case A, being ysurrounded by the circle of pipes E, and which is provided with three o1' more short'feetm", to keep its bottom from coming in contact with the bottom of the ease A.

G is the grate, which m'ay'be formed of perforated sheet iron, and which rests upon lugs, yi, attached to the sides ot' said fire-chamber, F.

In the lower part of the sides of the furnace F are formed the draught-openings, which are covered and protected by wire-gauze screens to prevent the possibility of fire escaping through said openings. The upper end of the Furnace F is provided with a cover, II, fitting air-tight, and provided with an opening, through which thc products of combustion escape, said opening being-covered and protected by a wire-gauze screen, I.

The draught-opening through the cover IjI may be closed, when desired, by` a plug, J, fitting into said opening, as shown in iig. I.

The furnace Il" is provided with a bail or handle, K, by means ot' which may be conveniently placed in and removed from its, p luce in the case A. i

L is a short piece ot' pipe, passing through and permanently attached tothe upper part ot' the case A, and which is connected with the opening through the cover II by a short pipe, M, having an elbow formed upon it, as shown in iig. I.

N is ashort curved or elbow-pipe connected with the outer end of the pipe L, and which may be connected with a chimney-flue, or may pass out through a window, or through a hole in the side or top of thcear, said pipe not being required to be more than an inch and a half or two inchesin diameter.

O is a water-receptacle removably attached to an opening in the lower side of the pipe N, to receive the liquid condensed from the products of combustion, and which may be conveniently removed and emptied when required.

In preparing'the stove for heating, the furnace 1*' is removed and taken into the yard, or other suitable place, and the ashes or remains of the former fire cmptiedo'ut.

A small quantity of shavings or other kindling is then placed in it,' and lighted. A small quantity of charcoal is then placed in it. When the charcoal has become fully kindled, the furnace is filled half or threequarters full of charcoal, according to the length of time it is desired to have the fire burn. After the charcoal has become fully on tire, the orifice through the cover His closed with the plug J, and the furnaceis then carried in and placed in the caso A.- Thepipe M is then attached, the cover B is put o,n,`and the heater is in full operation. Y

Such a re in a stove thus constructed will last from six to twenty-four hours, according to the capacity of 'the stove, and the amount of charcoal used, keeping all the time a constant, steady heat.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is Animproved stove or heater, -formed by the combination of the outer case A, having a close-fitting cover, B, upon its upper end, and an ingress-draught opening in its bottom, air-pipes-E, interior furnace F, having a close-fitting cover, Hvth an egress-draught opening in it upon its upper en'd,'and ingress-draught openings at its lower end, the egress-draught pipes M, L, and N, or their equivalent, and the water-receiver O, with each other, said parts being constructed and operating suhstantiallyas herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth. Y. F. S. ZUMSTEIN.
